A new exhibition of photographer Colin Jones’s images of The Who captures the band during their Mod heyday in the 1960s

Photographer Colin Jones is one of the most prolific photographers of postwar
Britain, including Swinging London during the hedonistic 1960s.

The Who, of course, were at the centre of that social revolution. The working
relationship between Jones and the band developed into a friendship that
allowed him exclusive access to rehearsal sessions, stage performances and
more private moments - such as band-members in their London homes and
hunting for Mod clothes in Chelsea boutiques.

Click on the image above to launch a gallery of Jones’s images, on show at
Proud Camden gallery in London.
